    Where is post on Wix/Napa Gold date codes?

    I'd just like to know when my filters were manufactured. I also always check the dates on tires when I purchase them. However, unlike tires, oil filters don't use a universal date code, i.e. it seems to be specific to each brand of filter.

    Where is post on Wix/Napa Gold date codes?

    Can someone provide the link to the post that described how to interpret the date codes stamped on Wix/Napa Gold/Carquest Premium oil filters? I have searched for this post, however the link I found is no longer functioning.

    Who to trust for LCD TV reviews

    Avsforum is good, however I find them a bit too fanatical at times. I recommend cnet.com and of course, consumerreports.org. The lcdbuyingguide is also a good site. From my experience (FWIW) I recommend any of the Sony LCD TVs ... I have the KDL-40S2000 and it's an excellent HDTV.

    Toyota Going 5W20 across the Board, or just 06+ Models

    <blockquote>quote:<hr /> I'm sure they made some changes to the '06 engine, so I'm not going to argue with Toyota/SCION on this one. <hr /></blockquote>I'm not quite convinced that Toyota made any changes in the 2AZ-FE engine ... at least not from 05 to 06. IMHO Toyota is more worried about...

    oil for 2007 camry 4 cyl

    I still don't understand why Toyota only applied this TSB to 2006 and newer cars. My 2005 4cyl is identical to the 2006 2AZ-FE.

    car hit in lot, insurance question.

    I recently was the victim of a "hit and run." USAA considered my claim as non-insured motorist. I guess it depends on your insurance company.

    Anyone have these tires?

    I had these tires mounted on a 2001 Isuzu Trooper that I owned a few years back. Absolutely great tire, never got stuck with them in the snow or off-road during my tour at Cheyenne Wyoming.

    <blockquote>quote:<hr /> So even though the 2AZ-FE engine is listed as useing the 0W20 spec. oil it has to be a 2006 or newer 2AZ-FE. This precludes my engine wich is a 2003 2AZ-FE engine from useing any 20Wt.!!!! Dollars to dohnuts Toyota is useing Honda's new lead matrix technology in the...
